Exegesis
The relative clause ho estin angelou {ὅ ἐστιν ἀγγέλου | hó é-stin án-gge-lou} ‘which is of an angel’ asserts the equivalence of the angelic measure, underscoring both the reliability and transcendent validation of the city’s dimensions.
In context — Revelation 21:17
And he measured its wall : one hundred forty-four cubits, by the measure of a man, which is also that of an angel .
